Greetings, Phyllis1207.
After reviewing your post, it appears you're not seeing your iMac listed as one of the devices you're signed in on. I'll be happy to help you with this.
Check your Apple ID device list to see where you‘re signed in -- You came to Apple Support Communities from the correct article, so I want to be sure that you're signed into iCloud on your iMac. Apple menu () > System Preferences > iCloud.

Add a device to the list

After you sign in on a device with your Apple ID, that device appears in the list. Here's where you need to sign in:

For iOS 9 and later, sign in to iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, the iTunes and App Store, or Game Center on the device. You can also see your paired Apple Watch.

For iOS 8 sign in to iCloud or the iTunes and App Store on the device. You can also see your paired Apple Watch.

For OS X Yosemite and later or Windows 10 and later, sign in to iCloud on the device.

For tvOS 7 and later, sign in to the iTunes and App Store on the device.

If any of your devices are using earlier versions of iOS, OS X, or tvOS, you won’t see them in your device list.


Take care!
